Bulleit 12 Year Rye (2024 Release)
Rye — Indiana (bottled in Kentucky), USA
Reviewed May 20, 2024 (edited September 9, 2024)Really nice rye, incredibly smooth with a great balance of sweet and spicy. Some anise/licorice, a bit of stewed peach, vanilla. -
Really nice and smooth- up front I get heavy cherry flavors and some medicinal notes (almost like cherry cough syrup but in a good way, and not at all a syrupy texture). Less of the "charred wood" than I thought there would be but some subtle oakiness. Only moderately spicy finish, a bit of nutmeg and pepper. Cracked for 40th bday.

Reviewed December 31, 2023 (edited January 1, 2024)NYE 2023. Complex and very spicy at first- after a few sips, starts getting sweeter. Ginger and clove notes remind me of a gingerbread cookie; I also taste a bbq smokiness and some rye. -
